On March 27th at 6:00pm, there will be a medical student-run mentoring event for Honors College premedical students at the Downtown campus (Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences).

The event will be in 1225A. When you arrive at the
medical campus, you will buzz in and sign in at the front desk since the entire
campus is swipe access only.

This event will include a presentation from myself (Cullan) and other first-year medical students giving advice, resources, and generalized tips about the process of applying to medical school. The pre-health committee is a fantastic resource, however, our goal is to give more of an insider perspective with students who have recently gone through the process. The end will be an informal Q&A session, so be sure to bring some questions for us!

FREE PIZZA will be provided!

The American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project brings challenges to conditions of confinement in prisons, jails and other detention facilities.

Join us for an Open House
and Exhibit Opening on the topic of Domestic Violence!

Thursday, February 7, 2019
from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm.

The Health Sciences Library is pleased to host an Open
House and the Opening of the exhibit, “Confronting Violence: Improving Women’s
Lives”, produced by the National Library of Medicine. This six-banner
traveling exhibition celebrates the pivotal role played by nurses, who
mobilized the medical profession to tackle the problem of domestic
violence. The panels display images, manuscripts and records that tell
the stories of the nurses who witnessed the effects of domestic violence and
campaigned for change. NLM also has an online
version of the exhibit.

In honor of highlighting this important issue, we have
invited two speakers who are intimately involved with domestic
violence. Judith Olin, Director, Family Violence and Women’s Rights
Clinic in UB’s School of Law, and Mary Murphy, Executive Director of The Family
Justice Center of Erie County.

Judith will speak on: The Influence of Dr. Jacqueline
Campbell, RN, PhD on the creation of the High Risk Team Model”.
Mary will talk about the Family Justice Center and her group of survivors (a
few dozen incredible women) who weigh in day in and day out on how best to
serve their clients, and their new ReachOut initiative involving a standalone
website with videos on how to have the conversation with someone you suspect
may be in an abusive relationship.

Staff will also be on hand to offer brief tours of the
library and its magnificent and historic Reading Room, as well as our History
of Medicine collection that includes Nursing books and artifacts.

Refreshments will be served.

Please RSVP to pmrose@buffalo.edu or call
